Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of this server?

It gives LLMs access to candidate information (resume, profile URLs, website content) through the Model Context Protocol, intended as a library to embed in other applications.

How do I configure candidate information?

Pass a `candidateConfig` object to `createServer` containing fields like `name`, `email`, `resumeUrl`, and other candidate properties. The email is required for the `contact_candidate` tool.

What dependencies and runtime are required?

Node.js 20+ and npm or yarn. No other required runtime dependencies are mentioned beyond the MCP SDK and Mailgun (optional).

Does this server support multiple transports?

Yes. The README demonstrates Stdio, Streamable HTTP, and Express transports. Transport choice depends on your integration environment.

Can I extend the server with custom resources or tools?

Yes. The library is designed to be extended. Examples show adding custom resource classes and registering custom tools with Zod schema validation.
